Abstract
This paper provides the new PAR proposals expected to be moved at the March 1996 Executive Committee meeting of LMSC.

Please write to the chair if you beleive that 802.11 should oppose, providing the arguments.

IEEE P802.11 proposals
To ExCom
From Ken Alonge, 802.10

Attached below is a proposed PAR for revision of IEEE Standard 802.10-1992. 
This PAR is intended to support the establishment of Security Association
Identifiers (SAIDs) by Multicast Key Distribution Centers, which under the
current Standard is an intractable problem.  The figure contained in the PAR
will not copy into e-mail, but I don't believe it is an important item for you
to base your decision on.  If anyone feels that they need to see the figure,
I'll be glad to e-mail it as a postscript attachment or FAX it to you, otherwise
I will wait until the March plenary to distribute copies of the PAR that contain
the figure.

Approval of this PAR will come up for vote at the Thursday night Exec.

Please send any questions to me and/or Russ Housley at the e-mail addresses
below:

Ken: alonge_ken@po.gis.prc.com
Russ: housley@spyrus.com

Thanks - Ken

IEEE P802.3 proposals
To:       Members of the 802 Exec
From:     Geoff Thompson, Chair 802.3
          Howard Frazier, Chair 802.3 HSSG
Date:     February 3, 1996
Subject:  Draft PAR and Supporting Material for 1,000 Mb/s 802.3

Colleagues-

At the Montreal meeting of 802.3 the Working Group charged its
new Higher Speed Study Group (HSSG) to generate a draft PAR and
supporting material.  This was for 30 day advance circulation
to the 802 Executive and for consideration by 802.3 and
subsequently by the 802 Executive at the March meeting in
La Jolla.

The HSSG met in Milpitas, California on January 11 & 12, 1996.
There were both technical presentations and a session to draft
objectives, 5 Criteria and a proposed PAR.  The meeting was very
well attended with a peak attendance of over 150 people.

The technical presentations included material from a number of 
Fibre Channel component manufacturers who expressed support for
the technical concept of using FC-0 and FC-1 specifications at
somewhat increased speed. There were also presentations as to the
parameters for CSMA/CD might be modified for operating at this
speed.  The project material as developed will be reviewed and
presented for approval by 802.3 during the March meeting.

The output of the interim meeting is attached below for your
preview.  Formal review will take place according to the 802
Operating Rules at the March Plenary.  We look forward to
meeting with you at that time.

If you have any questions or comments either of us would be happy
to receive them before the March meeting.

        will release them on a similar basis for this work.
        Release statements are being solicited.

9b. Are you aware of any other standards or projects with a
    similar scope?  (YES/explanation)
       There is no other project that uses the 802.3 MAC at 
       speeds above 100 Mb/s.
       802.12 has a broad scope PAR for higher speeds up to 4 Gb/s 
       which straddles the speed range of this proposal.
       Fiber Channel has an issued standard at 850 Mb/s.

9c. Is this standard intended to form the basis of an
    international standard?  (YES/explanation)
       It is intended to submit this work to ISO through SC6 at
       the time it is submitted for Sponsor Ballot.

==================== end of PAR information ====================== 

The preceeding PAR was approved by the 802.3 HSSG on Friday
January 12th by a vote of 26-0-3.

Howard M. Frazier, Jr.
Chair, IEEE 802.3 HSSG
==================================================================

==================================================================
Gigabit Ethernet Five Criteria
 - A Recommendation to the 802.3 WG
==================================================================
1.      Broad Market Potential
          o  Broad set (s) of applications
          o  Multiple vendors, multiple users
          o  Balance cost, LAN vs. attached stations
------------------------------------------------------------------
       
        The fast growth of CPU speed is forcing the development of
        new LANs with higher bandwidth.
       
        The following applications and environments will benefit
        from this capability:
        o  Backbone, Server and Gateway connectivity 
        o  Higher Bandwidth for multimedia, distributed
           processing, imaging, medical, CAD/CAM,
           and pre-press applications
        o  Aggregation of 100Mb/s switches
        o  Upgrade for large installed base of 10/100 Ethernet
       
        Multiple vendors and users have demonstrated interest by
        attending the Gigabit Ethernet tutorial
       (over 200 participants), attending the preliminary study
        group meeting (over 120), and enrolling in the higher
        speed E-Mail reflector (over 165). 

        XXX participants representing at least YY companies
        indicate that they plan to participate in the
        standardization of 1,000 Mb/s 802.3.  
        [Note, XXX and YY will be replaced with numerical values
        based on a survey to be taken at the March, 1996
        Plenary meeting of 802]
       
        This level of commitment indicates that a standard will be
        supported by a large group of vendors.  This in turn will
        ensure that there will be a wide variety of equipment to
        support a multitude of applications.
       
        Higher-speed 802.3 solutions which include scaled up
        versions of existing 802.3 topologies, have balanced cost.
        Prior experience with scaling 802.3 across the range of 
        1 to 100 Mb/s indicates that the cost balance between
        adapters, cabling, and hubs, remains roughly constant,
        provided that the operating speed can be achieved within
        the limits of current technology.

==================================================================
2.      Compatibility with IEEE Standard 802.3
          o  Conformance with CSMA/CD MAC, PLS
          o  Conformance with 802.2
          o  Conformance with 802 FR
------------------------------------------------------------------
        The proposed standard will conform to the CSMA/CD MAC,
        with currently authorized extensions, appropriately
        adapted for 1000 Mb/s operation.

        In a fashion similar to the 100BASE-T standard, the
        current physical layers will be replaced with new
        Physical Layers (PHY) as appropriate for 1,000 Mb/s
        operation.
       
        The proposed standard will conform to the 802.2 LLC
        interface.

        The proposed standard will conform with the
        802 Functional Requirements Document 
        (with the possible exception of Hamming distance).

        The CSMA/CD access method will not support a 2 km network
        diameter at this speed while maintaining the current
        values in the MAC parameter table.  This portion of the
        application space will be addressed at 1,000 Mb/s with
        the full duplex operating mode of 802.3.

==================================================================
3.      Distinct Identity
          o  Substantially different from other 802.3
             specs/solutions
          o  Unique solution for problem (not two
             alternatives/problem)
          o  Easy for document reader to select relevant spec
------------------------------------------------------------------
        The proposed standard is an upgrade for 802.3 users,
        based on the 802.3 CSMA/CD MAC, running at 1,000 Mb/s.
        Maximum compatibility with the installed base of 10/100
        CSMA/CD is maintained by adapting the existing 
        CSMA/CD MAC protocol for use at 1,000 Mb/s.
       
        Established benefits of CSMA/CD  and the 802.3 MAC
        include:
          o  Optimistic transmit access method
          o  High efficiency in full-duplex operating mode
          o  Well-characterized and understood operating behavior
          o  Broad base of expertise in suppliers and customers
          o  Straightforward bridging between networks at
             different data rates

        The Management Information Base (MIB) for 1,000 Mb/s 802.3
        will maintain consistency with the 802.3 MIB for 
        10/100 Mb/s operation.  Therefore, network managers,
        installers, and administrators will see a consistent
        management model across all operating speeds.

        The proposed standard will encompass one Physical Layer
        solution for each specific type of network media 
       (e.g. single mode fiber, multi-mode fiber, coaxial cable,
        shielded twisted pair cable).
        
        The proposed standard will be a supplement to the existing
        802.3 standard, formatted as a collection of new clauses,
        making it easy  for the reader to select the relevant
        specification.

==================================================================
4.      Technical Feasibility 
          o  Demonstrated feasibility ; reports - - working models
          o  Proven technology, reasonable testing
          o  Confidence in reliability
------------------------------------------------------------------
       
        Technical presentations given to 802.3 from multiple
        current vendors of Full Speed Fibre Channel components
        have demonstrated the feasibility of physical layer
        signaling at a rate of 1.06 Gb/s on both fiber optic
        and copper media.

        Many of these vendors have expressed support for an
        increase in the signaling rate to 1.25 Gb/s, which
        would be required to support a MAC data rate of 
        1,000 Mb/s.  
        
        Technical presentations, given to 802.3, have demonstrated
        the feasibility of using the CSMA/CD MAC in useful network 
        topologies at a rate of 1,000 Mb/s. 
       
        The principle of scaling the CSMA/CD MAC to higher speeds
        has been well established by previous work within 802.3.
        The 1,000 Mb/s work will build on this experience.

        The principle of building bridging equipment which
        performs rate adaptation between 802.3 networks operating 
        at different speeds has been amply demonstrated by the 
        broad set of product offerings that bridge between
        10 and 100 Mb/s.

==================================================================
5.      Economic Feasibility
          o  Cost factors known, reliable data
          o  Reasonable cost for performance expected
          o  Total Installation costs considered
------------------------------------------------------------------
       
        Cost factors are derived from the current Full Speed Fibre
        Channel component supplier base.

        A reasonable cost increase (3X of 100BASE-FX) with a
        ten-fold increase in available bandwidth in the full
        duplex operating mode  will result in an improvement
        in the cost/performance ratio by a factor of 3.33 for
        multi-mode fiber applications.

        The provision for a half duplex operating mode using
        the 802.3 CSMA/CD MAC will permit the construction of
        very inexpensive repeating hubs. 
       
        Customers will in many cases be able to re-use their
        existing fiber that has been installed in accordance with 
        ISO/IEC 11801.  Installation costs for new fiber runs
        based on established standards are well known and
        reasonable.

5.     Describe This Project: (Choose ONE from each Group below)

       (a)    [NO]          Modification of an Existing PAR
       (b)    [  ]          New Standard
              [YES]         Revision of an Existing Standard
              [   ]         Supplement to an Existing Standard
       (c)    [YES]         Full Use
              [   ]         Trial Use

6.     Scope of the Project: (What is being done, including the
technical boundaries of the
       project)

       Modify the Clause 1 of IEEE Std 802.9 - 1994 to reflect the
addition of technologies
       developed as supplements. Specifically, label the three basic
ISLAN technologies
       (rates = 4 Mbit/s, 16 Mbit/s and 20 Mbit/s) that have been
standardized.

       4 Mbit/s = ISLAN4-T; 16 Mbit/s = ISLAN16-T; 20Mbit/s = ISLAN20-T.

       In addition, use this PAR to maintain readability of the
existing standard to reflect
       appropriately the supplemental standards.

7.     Purpose of Proposed Project: (Why is it being done, including
the intended user(s)
       and benefits to the users(s).)

       Improve the overall readability in order to understand the
distinctions in the IEEE
       Std 802.9 - 1994 and IEEE 802.9a supplemental standard 1995,
and other subsequent
       supplemental standards.

       When the original standard was developed, the W.G. did not
foresee the integration
       of supplemental standards to the original (or baseline) standard.

8.     Sponsor: (Give full name; spell out all acronyms.)

       Society/Committee: Computer/Local Area Network-Metropolitan Area
       Network(LAN-MAN) Standards Committee.

(c)    Is this standard intended to form the basis of an
International Standard?
       [YES]*
(d)    Is this project intended to focus on health, safety, or
environmental issue?
       [NO]

* - This standard also needs to be presented to ISO standardization.
Thus may be an annex
to the ISO standard.
